Covid-19 Vaccination for Children

All children aged 5 -11 continue to be offered vaccination against Covid-19.

Two doses of the vaccine (at least 12 weeks apart) should give the child long-lasting protection against serious complications of infection and some protection from mild symptoms.

To book an appointment, please visit https://www.nhs.uk/covidvaccination or call 119.

The NHS wants to support you to make an informed choice with more information available here COVID-19: A guide for parents of children aged 5 to 11 (publishing.service.gov.uk)

If you do not know your child’s NHS number you can get it:

• by checking your child’s personal health record (the red book given to you when your child was born)
  

• by checking any NHS letters, prescriptions or test results you may have received for your child

• by going to the NHS.UK website

• by asking your GP practice to help you
